Ahh, I guess I missed the point that you wanted to use their default VO
settings. Not sure there is a way to do that unless you pull their
preferences and use the same ones for your speech. Not that there is
also a set of commands to give in-text directives so you can do
say "[[pbas 50;rate 500]]Hello there"
Still doesn't pull those settings from the VO defaults but at least you
can set anything you want. Details of other commands here:

Yes you could, but what if the user's voice is not what I set? I don't want
this for just me, it has to work for anyone who uses the package. Interfacing
directly with vo is the only way to do that.

I guess since I don't know Applescript I keep going to the shell. You can set
the rate and voice for the say command using various flags:
say -v Bruce "help" -r 400
So wouldn't you be able to do something like
os.system("say -v Bruce 'help' -r 400")

Yes, like this:
import os
os.system("""osascript 'say "hello"'""")
The problem is that say does not honor vo settings. For instance, vo uses
Serena on my system, but my default voice is Alex, so I know the difference
(particularly helpful in chess). I want to use vo itself so that all settings
are used, regardless of the system's defaults. I know it can be done, as this
output command is in vo's dictionary in script editor, I just don't know the
right syntax to use.

Can you use Python to execute shell scripts? Then you could invoke
say "sometext" to get your speech output from Python.

Hi all,
I'd like to use osascript to tell vo to output text, which would be part of a
python module. Long story short, can someone provide a quick example of the
exact syntax? I thought it might be:
osascript tell voiceover to output "hello world"
but I'm guessing at punctuation and exact wording. Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Have a great day,
